Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007113867A1] A device for the thermal ablation (TA) by means of high frequency electromagnetic energy comprising a hollow element (1), one or more electrodes (1, 10) connected to an electromagnetic energy generator at high frequency, e.g. radiofrequencies or microwaves, said hollow element (1) being tightly inserted into an expandable membrane (3). A viscous and electric conductive substance (6) is injected into the membrane (3) through one or more openings (4) provided on the portion of the hollow element (1) being enclosed in said membrane. The invention also relates to a method for the TA by means of high frequency electromagnetic energy using the above- mentioned device.
